OK I have the buff hide ones and the tan/light brown sort of suede type ones....my buff ones take a hammering and stood up so far...the other ones just use for driving to and from ranch....I don't think they are robust enough to take what my buff ones have done...as I think said on another thread about boots I got a big blister first time I wore them properly...found the inner sole part wasn't flush with the heel and there was a ridge...I used rounded end of my Swiss army knife to smooth it down...after that no problems... ( never had any issues like that with any of my Courtneys from new)..but as I said also in the other thread I don't like the steel shank imbedded in the sole....even our flat ground has humps where grass clumps grow and rest is not exactly smooth and I can feel the shank pushing into the ball of my foot....makes them ache sometimes....only thing that pisses me off about them...otherwise great boot...keep meaning to ask them if they can make without the shank
